Manufacturer Note

Simply wipe it with a soft, clean cloth or rinse with warm, soapy water. Before re-applying the case, make sure it’s completely dry—and also wipe down your Mac to remove any dust or particles.

Fell off the roof of my car

Long story short, I forgot my macbook on the roof of my car. Shortly after merging onto the freeway I heard a crash as it bounced along my the roof, and when I looked in my rearview I witnessed my beloved Mac Pro 13" smashing into the shoulder and sliding for about 30' after a 50mph fall. Thankfully it went to the right and not into traffic.

I exited, went around, and pulled over then ran to what I expected to be the carcass of a once beautiful machine. To my complete shock it was still in one piece, showing only minor damage. I got back in the car, held the power button... and it turned on! This case saved it's life. There is no scratching to speak of, the only damage is a dent in the corner of the screen where it landed and a little scratch on the corner of the body. The glass is not cracked, and it runs just fine. I will replace the screen just because the dent annoys me and reminds me of my own stupidity. The case is utterly mangled, so I promptly bought a new one when I got home (I also called and told them my story).

Do not listen to ANYONE that says this product does not provide adequate protection.

Absolute waste of money. Dust gets caught between the case and your Mac and leaves little scratches all over it; does more damage than good! Furthermore, clips on bottom shell fell off in less than 3 weeks. I got a replacement under warranty and the same thing happend again. Ruined Mac, ruined case, save your money!

Do not buy this product. The whole purpose is to protect your laptop from scratches and damage but instead it damaged my laptop leaving black ugly marks. Dust get caught in between the laptop and the case and it is a pain to get off and put back on. It does fit perfectly but will only damage your laptop in the long run!

I had one of these cases for 3 years and loved it. It finally got cracked in the corner of the top lid, so I replaced it with a glossy one of a different brand. Less than a year later, it is cracked, too. So the grippy case held up a lot better to my normal wear and tear.
I miss the grippy feel of the lid and bottom, and will be going back to this model of case. I find the matte finish looks a lot nicer than the glossy finish, as long as you don't get greasy fingerprints on it.
Overall, a great case, and worth the money to protect my computer.

I bought this case not too long after getting my computer in 2012, I still have one but will be purchasing a new one. Unlike others the dust that gets in-between the case I don't have scratches. Of course you are going to get dust and dirt after months of having it on but I haven't had any scratches on my computer. Only complaint is the pieces that hold it on, they last for awhile but do snap off after time. Great product, currently going to order a new one because its time- especially after peeling off all the stickers I had on it.

After a few months of owning this case, and one test drop, I have come to the conclusion that this is NOT a durable case. I took it off for cleaning my mac, and guess what? The plastic buds that hold the case onto the mac snaps, and falls off. All corners! The middle of the case has a huge crack. The case makes the mac super heavy. And when I took it off, there was too much dust, literally stuck to the Mac. And also, this case makes the Mac overheat countlessly whenever I hold it on my lap. It is blisteringly hot to the touch. As soon as I took the case off, my battery performed normally, No more warnings about the battery overheating. Do NOT get this product!

Assuming the inside of the case and the shell of your macbook are free of dirt when you install the case, it will not scratch your computer. Just use the microfibre cloth that came with your macbook to wipe of the outside of your computer and the inside of the case prior to installation.
